New On-Line TaxStar Residential Property Tax Protest Evidence
Real Data, Inc., with over 18 years of providing residential sales data and appraisal property data for the Houston area since 1991, is the basis for the RDI Single Family Residential (SFR) TaxStar.
All RDI sales transactions are obtained from courthouse records on a daily basis, matched with appraisal district records, and verified by various reliable sources, i.e. appraisers, brokers, buyers, sellers, the appraisal district, and MLS services.
The RDI SFR TaxStar service provides the owner an inexpensive means of determining if their property is over-assessed and eliminates unnecessary time-consuming tax protest preparation. The RDI Residential TaxStar reports are prepared in such a way that if you determine your property is over-assessed, you can print copies of the report to be used at an informal or formal property appraisal district protest hearing.
After determining that your property is over-assessed, you may alternatively decide that you want a Professional Tax Consultant to present your case at the appraisal district protest hearing instead of presenting the evidence yourself. The costs for hiring a Professional Tax Consultant range from 30% to 50% for residential properties with fees earned only if a tax protest is successful in reducing your residential property taxes. If that is your choice then contact William C. Forrest, MAI Appraiser, Tax Consultant and Broker for representation.
Example: If your property’s assessed value/market value is $200,000 and you reduce it to $190,000, the tax savings equates to approximately $255 or about $25.50 per $1000. A Tax Consultant would receive $255 x 30% = $76.50 or $255 x 50% = $127.50.
DISCLAIMER: Real Data, Inc. Does Not Guarantee The Outcome Of Your Informal Or Formal Protest Hearing Or The Accuracy Of The Data Provided.
